Glad to see Roland Emmerich, the director of the upcoming film Stonewall, addressing the casting concerns. Which actors are gay, I would like to know, so we can support them. I would have been very upset if none had been. You don't make a movie about the Holocaust and not make the effort to try to cast Jewish actors. Same here. I don't think gays should be limited to playing gay parts, but they should get first dibs at them. Especially, since there is a prejudice against gay actors and they don't get enough work. We need to be more pro-active in rewarding them parts for their honesty and integrity in representing us in the industry.Link to Stonewall director interview

So I spent two weeks attending the annual Outfest film festival in Los Angeles. Here is my feedback on some of the ones I saw:

Do I Sound Gay -a life-changing documentary on what it means to be gay identified. A must see!

Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story -a documentary about the legendary founder of Falcon Studios. Was thrilled to hear from one of the producers that Chuck didn't like using gay4pay models, even though some of his contemporaries did (Matt Sterling and John Summers).

Falcon Studios documentary -Seed Money talked about many of the legendary performers.

Fourth Man Out -a feel good buddy flick for straight audiences (no sex). Loved the fact that the lead is a gay actor playing the gay part. And he's damn hot -Evan Todd!

Evan Todd -Broadway performer gets the lead in Fourth Man Out. Google him for pictures of him in his underwear in a play. Very talented actor as well.
